3 Reasons Why I Love Turkey

Hey man, the best of the thousand reasons I could think of is that I love to eat Turkey! I’m just kidding. But I guess the below reasons aren’t too serious too lol.

• I would like to quote a part of the lyric from the most favorite romantic song of mine,”I’ve walked across many cities and finally reach Istanbul. It’s just like fairy tale where there are churches and castles. I’ve been searching for something busily everyday but still couldn’t figure out the thing I really want. All of a sudden, I found myself lost in the middle of nowhere.” Yes! I’m lost! What am I trying to say? You got it. It’s the romantic Istanbul that moves my heart.
• Though I failed Geography in virtually every test in my junior high, but all the history tests were nothing but flying colors.*applause* I’m actually a history buffs and fiction aficionado and hence unveil the ancient secrets behind this land where the Ottoman Empire fought battles that would shape the world has been the tremendous task from heaven. You know, with great power comes great responsibility. This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I’m Turkey man.*mad*
• Last but not least, I want to find out if the formula I created Tokyo + Nikko (Japan) = Istanbul + Cappadocia (Turkey). Let’s see if the Japanese or the Turks are better in blending ancient tradition with modern outlook. Let’s see who give us better feelings or who could make us go nut in our hallucination. Hey, are we the ancient or modern people? I Love Turkey!
